Nancy Grace and her paralegal Erin were excellent handling my QDRO after my previous attorney messed things up. Their communications and work were clear and efficient.

"Nancy always finds a way to help her clients focus on their goals and to achieve their goals in a professional manner. I would work with Nancy on any case because of her wisdom and overall demeanor. Clients sometimes fail to appreciate that having a lawyer with such a superb reputation will result in their achievement of more goals in an effective manner."
"Nancy Grace represents the best in a family law attorney. She is knowledgeable, diligent, and well-respected locally and throughout the country. Nancy is a pragmatic advocate for her clients and I often refer matters that I am unable to handle to Nancy knowing she will do an excellent job."
"Nancy Grace is a a compassionate advocate for her clients and a skilled mediator. I have worked with Nancy as opposing counsel and on various committees and I have the utmost respect for her legal knowledge and professionalism."
"Nancy is a leader in the Family Law Bar and her reputation is impeccable. She is widely known as one of the best attorneys in the Raleigh area. I refer many of my Raleigh clients to Nancy and if I needed a Raleigh Mediator, I would not hesitate to use her."
